Oh man, I gotta tell you about my job yesterday
Panda Man™ says:
I got a job reinstalling XP on a laptop
Panda Man™ says:
It originally came with Vista but vista on a laptop......................
Panda Man™ says:
He got XP on it by taking it to a tech near me, but he moved
Panda Man™ says:
That was like a year ago
Panda Man™ says:
anyways, it needed formatting
Panda Man™ says:
He originally took it to a PC shop and they couldn't do it
Panda Man™ says:
So then he thought of calling me
Panda Man™ says:
I went down to the office
Panda Man™ says:
Put the disk in, and proceeded with setup
Panda Man™ says:
Setup could not find any disks
Panda Man™ says:
I was like
Panda Man™ says:
I've never heard of that happening on a laptop
Panda Man™ says:
So I think "ok, no problem"
Panda Man™ says:
Just go to gateway's site and get the HDD controller drivers
�* says:
ok
Panda Man™ says:
As a side note, gateway caps their downloads at 40 Kbps
�* says:
lol
Panda Man™ says:
WTF
Panda Man™ says:

Panda Man™ says:
Anyways
Panda Man™ says:
I get the controlelr driver
Panda Man™ says:
the actual drivers are in a cab file and I can't get it extracted
Panda Man™ says:
They set the program up to where the ONLY way you can get the drivers is to put a floppy in the the drive
Panda Man™ says:
and have it format/ copy the drivers for you
�* says:
ok
Panda Man™ says:
This is specific to his laptop
Panda Man™ says:
The download/program to put the drivers on the floppy, Specific for his lappy
Panda Man™ says:

�* says:
yeah, except the puter has no floppy?
Panda Man™ says:
Well..... HIS LAPTOP DOESN'T HAVE A FUCKING FLOPPY DRIVE
Panda Man™ says:
XD
Panda Man™ says:
I was like WTF GATEWAY!!??!?
Panda Man™ says:
The guy had to run home, and somehow he had ONE floppy disk laying around at his house, so as he ran home he grabbed it and brought it back
�* says:
lol
Panda Man™ says:
I copied the utility to a flash drive and find an old ass comp with a floppy drive
Panda Man™ says:
ran the proggie twice since it failed the first time
Panda Man™ says:
then copied the extracted drivers to my USB drive
�* says:

Panda Man™ says:
brought it to another PC with a CD burner and slipstreamed the drivers his winxp disk
�* says:
haha
Panda Man™ says:
Well, made a custom disk with his winxp disk anyways'
Panda Man™ says:

Gateway support is so fucked up
